The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 436

No one was aware that a battle was breaking out on the first floor of the Imperial Treasure House.

It was a battle unseen. Accidentally, Austin released the soul in an ancient sword. It was the ghost of an ancient swordsman dressed in white, who was quite powerful. Quickly, Austin activated his level seven sword intent, as well as his spiritual sense to meet this swordsman head on. The fierce fighting began in Austin's Soul Sea.

Even before the first round ended, Austin realized this swordsman had a far better grasp of swordsmanship than he did. The overwhelming sword aura he created kept rushing towards Austin like a torrent and had been precariously close to pinning the warrior dangerously several times. Austin's sword intent and seven sword radiance quivered and wailed in the flood of sword aura, as the swordsman nearly broke them from time to time.

It was a good thing that Austin's spiritual sense was much stronger at that point. With the extra help of the Spiritual Sense Flying Needle, he was able, though barely, to defend against the swordsman's relentless attacks at that moment.

And the skilled fighter was grateful that his spiritual sense was powerful enough to cover a distance of six thousand meters!

The fact was, only a cultivator who refined at the Sky Realm might be able to achieve this!

So, the Spiritual Sense Flying Needles Austin unleashed within the given radius was strong enough to resist most of the swordsman's sword aura. On the other hand, his level seven sword intent hardly had any effect.

More than ten minutes into the bitter fight, Austin was delighted to sense that the sword aura from the swordsman was gradually weakening, like the energy that had been forming it was draining away.

What happened? The sudden change confused Austin.

But after several minutes of pondering, he figured out the reason for what happened.

While it was true that the excellent swordsman must have a good grasp of swordsmanship skills, it was also true that he was merely a ghost having lingered in this sword for hundreds of years, or even more. As time passed, there was not much of his spiritual strength, or say spiritual power of sensing left.

So, while he was stronger than Austin in terms of swordsmanship excellence, his ebbing spiritual power eventually became a weakness.

On the other hand, Austin held a trump card despite his relatively lower cultivation base: his powerful spiritual sense.

And that was why Austin was surprised to discover that he became able to go toe-to-toe with him after several rounds.

"What? You've got to be kidding me!"

one of the old men, who had been watching the fight unfold, exclaimed.

"I never expected this green boy would be able to hold his own against the ghost of a sword. He should have conceded by now. It's unbelievable!" he muttered to himself.
